Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around County Durham we are discovering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the car.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly be careful not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank will likely result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations very simply.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container at the rear of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in County Durham to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in High Haswell (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete County Durham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your car. They are also able to handle the usual troubles which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car High Haswell - High Haswell Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer phoned us from his place on a street in High Haswell. He said, "My car (a Fiat) is not running and is creating awful noises when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would remedy the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there quickly, did the fuel drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He said after that he would be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it drained immediately.
